Time to try?

Hi ladies, just want to introduce myself- we found out we were pregnant with our second in February, due October, and were then gutted to find out in April we were miscarrying. I opted for surgical management and thought we were all done and dusted with that. I had two weeks of post-surgery loss and then the bleeding stopped for about three weeks until I had my period. Period seemed normal until it just didn’t stop. I had a ‘last day of period’ for about two weeks until I was scanned and it appeared I had retained product 🙁 I’ve had that removed this week and I’m hoping to get back to normal ASAP as I had really hoped to get a ticket for the June train 🙁
I’ll wait for my June period (which should have been Monday if nothing’s disrupted) but now I’m back to waiting for the post-surgery bleed to stop, to wait for a period, to know when I may possibly ovulate.

Now that I’ve written all this out I feel it’s probably on the wrong board but has anyone had retained product after surgical management before? How soon after did you TTC?

Hello i have never had surgical management of a mc so unfortunatly i have no afvice for you. I starting trying once i finished with bleeding unsure but i guess if you and your oh geel its the right time and mefically you have no reasons why not i cant see why not if u see what im saying. Sorry for your loss and hope u get your rainbow soon xxx

Hi, I don't have any advice, as you would expect it depends very much on each person. I had surgical management in Oct 2017 at 12wk and retained product that made me septic and had a 2nd surgery 2days later. To me the whole experience seemed very rough on the body so I don't think I would have been able to start again so soon after the bleeding stopped. Not to mention my OH (other half) &I needed emotional recovery time. That being said when we finally did try again we had our bfp on cycle 3, but was an ectopic. So not much luck here, but I just wanted to say do whatever feels right for you. There is no better way than that, regardless of other people's stories. Wishing you best of luck x
